As a matter of interest how far ahead are the Conservatives at the moment? Don’t forget the DUP bribe has now run out and Brecon and Radnorshire is a shoo in for the Liberal Democrat party. I believe 311 out of 650 is not a majority but you do ‘the math’ (In Britain we have better attention spans so can do multiple sums and call it maths. Except it’s arithmetic).

I’m waiting for him to wet or soil himself, stood up in public in front of tv cameras. He’s probably done that already and soaked his leg and socks.

And I said they may yet limp into power one way or another So you have not adopted your new country then, I thought immigrants were supposed to learn their new country’s language. I expect that will be because you will come back to Blighty when you can’t afford US medical costs. Edited by Mapletree (30 Jun 2019 10.15am)

Ridiculous story as JC is robust but from the civil service? Don't recall that happening before and is completely out of order. Really he should resign he must know he is completely wrong and heading for a hiding from the libdems. Can't help but like him for standing up for his beliefs over a long career. He won’t resign and cares little for the middle ground. I wonder whether people will eventually get cold feet re the Lib Dems when it starts to look like they are a real option.

Do you think the idea of the Lib Dems being a credible party is a nightmare then Stirling?

So, whilst you are working in the US you can afford medical care. When you finish working will you come back to Britain like so many other Brit expats? You are out of date, Croydon is rapidly becoming a cool place to live. Anywhere South of central Croydon always has been but now even West Croydon is starting to gentrify. And you should see the enormous apartment blocks going up in central Croydon, it's truly incredible. The number of originating nationalities near you is neither here nor there. I asked if you were assimilating into the US culture as you don't seem to have learned either of the languages yet. You may as well go straight to Spanish now.

No, just a Remainer fantasy. So no chance they will hold the balance of power then? I think it is you that is in fantasy land. Let's hope they do a better job next time than they did when in bed with the Tories.

There is a certain morality within the Lib Dems that is an echo to old Quakerism that I have time for but it forms only a part of a wholly unrealistic egalitarian worldview that is contributing to the decline of western civilisation. So in short, yes....the idea that the Lib Dems would be credible would be a nightmare.....in a sense. There's an argument, in certain areas of the right, for accelerationism of course......so perhaps it wouldn't be such a bad thing in the long run. Edited by Stirlingsays (30 Jun 2019 1.31pm)
